it looks like nfs is not listed: server:/etc# cat services | grep nameserver nameserver 42/tcp name # IEN 116 domain 53/tcp nameserver # name-domain server domain 53/udp nameserver server:/etc# cat services | grep nfs server:/etc# cat services | grep 2049 server:/etc# cat services | grep nis server:/etc# cat services | grep NIS z3950 210/tcp wais # NISO Z39.50 database does this go back to rpcinfo -p not showing nfs?

Yes. Please check that /etc/services is correct. You should have something like the following entry for named nameserver 42/tcp name # IEN 116 nameserver 42/udp name # IEN 116 and nfs is supposed to listen on port 2049: nfs 2049/tcp nfsd nfs 2049/udp nfsd If you have NIS (a.k.a. yp) or NIS+ enabled at your site, then please check that the 'services' entries are correct there too.
